Abstract

814,380. Jet propulsion plant; gas turbine plant. POWER JETS (RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT) Ltd. Nov. 2, 1955 [Nov. 10, 1954], No. 32604/54. Class 110 (3). In a jet propulsion plant, the compressor is driven by the tangential discharge of highvelocity gas through nozzles mounted at the circumference of the compressor rotor. The gas is produced by an oxidant and a fuel in a combustion chamber and is passed radially outwards to the nozzles from which it flows to a secondary combustion chamber and is discharged, as a propulsive jet, through a variable area outlet. In a second embodiment, not shown, the compressor is driven both by the nozzles and by a turbine driven by the nozzle discharge gases. As shown, the gases formed in chamber 16 by the combination of fuel and oxidant flow radially outwards through passages 10 in the rotor 9 to the discharge nozzles 23 set at an angle to the rotor plane. 9 is caused to rotate by the tangential component of the discharge and thus drives the compressor 8 set in the air intake 1. The nozzle discharge gases when mixed with the compressed air stream continue to burn in chamber 27. Release is effected by nozzles 29 through which fuel or oxidant may be injected. The outlet area is adjustable by members 31. Preheating of the fuel may be effected by its passage through a heat exchanger to which heat is supplied by a fluid which flows through a circuit adjacent the aircraft surface and thus absorbs heat generated by air friction. Specifications 749,009 and 808,833 are referred to.
